SUMMARY:Zoom Forward! #3 with Irene Reti\, Cameron Vanderscoff\, and Sarah Rabkin
DESCRIPTION:Phren-Z\, The Hive Poetry Collective\, and Bookshop Santa Cruz present Zoom Forward! #3 with Irene Reti\, Cameron Vanderscoff\, and Sarah Rabkin part of the Zoom Forward Reading Series—an ongoing reading series to showcase writers\, keep our cultural spritits high\, and support Bookshop Santa Cruz.  \nIn the 1960s\, a small team of innovators gathered on a stunning sweep of land overlooking the California coast. They envisioned a new and different kind of university—one that could reinvent public higher education in the United States. Through this oral history of the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, we hear first-person accounts of the campus’s evolution\, from the origins of an audacious dream through the sea changes of five decades. More than two hundred narrators and a trove of archival images contribute to this dynamic\, nuanced account. Today\, UC Santa Cruz is a leading research university with experimental roots. This is the story of what was learned\, what was lost\, and what has grown along the way. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for Zoom Forward! #3 with Irene Reti\, Cameron Vanderscoff\, and Sarah Rabkin HERE. LIVE on Zoom (link and instructions provided upon signup)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPraise for Seeds of Something Different:\n“I kept marveling\, ‘So that’s what was happening!’ I could not put it down.”\n—Nikki Silva of NPR’s The Kitchen Sisters
